I don't think it matters where Ruff goes because I'm worried HCDB will still be here next season. He won 8 games in the playoffs which is pretty good for him and I think Shero really likes him. Not sure how he will handle his #1 goalie after he was afraid to play him in the playoffs.

Well... first of all, I think Ruff is PERFECT for the Rags, whether or not we retain HCDB. And I don't want the Rags to improve one iota.

Secondly. Damn I hope you're wrong re: Bylsma.

If he's retained, I'll drive back to Pittsburgh and attend a game as Darth Vader. Damn "the FORCE."

Lemme know which game... I'll try to get tickets, too.

Damn, I was hoping people would forget that "promise"

I guess It'll have to be the first game when the Bruins are back at CEC.

Do you think anyone will get the reference? People have such short memories...

Let's see, for all intents and purposes, we got rid of Kennedy and picked up Scudaeri and no other changes. We pretty much kept the same coaching staff. There have been a lot of posts in various threads talking about how we keep people, get people and generally work to field a team under the salary cap. I have two issued going forward. 1) If we pretty much kept the same team, how do we expect any better results than we have for the last few years, i.e. play well in the regular season then get outcoached and out played in teh playoffs, and 2) with all the money spent on Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Neal, Kunitz, Duduis, Martin etc., do we have to fill out the roster with a bunch of $550,000 a year guys. How is that going to help us get to the Cup?

Dunno, but I'm considering going to the same game dressed as a market sack.
